  • We can't let apathy and ignorance become the status quo

      What this quote signifies is that we can't let ignorance and apathy be a reason for people not to make a difference. We need to change what's going on and make people realize the importance of several fundamental issues going on in today's world.

      Well said. The status quo - accepting things as they are and not making necessary changes- is like death because it's a state of non-growth.
  • The report found that younger people "do not understand the ideals of citizenship, they are disengaged from the political process, they lack the knowledge necessary for effective self-government, and their appreciation and support of American democracy is limited."

      Younger people don't know what's going on politically. When it comes time to vote, they won't be able to make their own decisions; they will most likely be lead to follow something that they don't truly understand.

      Do you think that it's only knowledge that they lack? Do you think that young people think their efforts won't make a difference in a 'corrupt' system?

      No, I do not think that it's the only knowledge that they lack. I was just giving an example. There are elements of corruption, but our society is always looking for change. I think that if people are really passionate, that their efforts will be worth while.
  • The baby boomers, the World War II generation and our schools have failed to teach the ideals of citizenship to young people."

    This article is useful for my project because it states facts and shows statistics that really show how younger people are unaware and apathetic towards issues that revolve around their own government. It helps us make our hypothesis of teen awareness more thorough.

  • According to Harris, children are most influenced by their peers.  They adopt many behaviors of their peers in social settings in order to be accepted by their peers.
  • She goes on to say that children's interaction with their peers permanently modifies their inborn psychological characteristics

  • The fact is that we decide who we would let influence, inspire, or corrupt us.
  • Peers influence our behavior but parents play a part in which peers we choose to associate with.  Our behavior in public and at work is largely determined by our childhood peers but our family behavior is determined by the early lessons we received at home. 
  • Parents influence at-home behavior and peers influence behavior outside the home, that is, the behavior in the social setting.  We learn how to make friends and influence others by first experimenting with our peers and then we transfer these skills to the adult world of coworkers and friends.  But, how we behave as partners and parents is more likely to be shaped by what we observe in our families as children.

      This section could help us because it explains how teenagers change their behaviours when at home compared to with their social groups. People will always be different with their friends than with their families.
  • It is true that children adopt or mimic certain behaviors in social settings in order to win acceptance of their peers.  How desperate children get for peer acceptance and approval depends on the sense of individuality (or lack of it) their families cultivate in them.  Children whose parents encourage them to think independently learn to question rather than to blindly follow.  Such children might be less influenced by their peers.

      This could help me and my partner for our project because we understand that teenagers try to immitate people to become socially accepted by them. We also understand that teenagers are desperate for this acceptance and have parents who teach them to question important decisions have more independance that those who are 'followers'.

      This web page could really help me and my partner on our search to find the correlation between different environments that teens are in and the behaviour they adapt for that specific environment. This text explains a lot about the mentality that teens have and their influences.
